3 to 4 servings

8 oz. Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta, Penne or any other whole wheat pasta
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small strips
4 cups broccoli florets, cooked 
1 1/4 cup fat free chicken broth, low sodium 
4 tsp. flour
4oz. 1/3 fat cream cheese, cubed
3 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper

Methods/steps

1. Cook the pasta according to directions on box.

2. In large skillet, (I prefer cast iron), spray with cooking spray, add chicken.  Cook about 7 mins. or until cooked.  Remove from skillet, add chicken broth and flour in same skillet. Stir in cream cheese, parmesan, garlic and pepper, stirring constantly until it comes to a soft boil. Turn off; allow to thicken up.  

Serving equals 1 cup of pasta, 1/4 lb. of chicken 1 cup of broccoli and 1/4 cup of sauce.

Additional Tips

If sauce is to thick I add more chicken broth.  I also spray the pasta with I Cannot Believe It's Not Butter spray as soon as I drain it. Yummy!
